Penny pinching when buying video games






Well, you wouldn't be the only one pinching pennies because of the recession that looms over all of us to some degree. Sales of video games are down much like sales for most other products around the world. Even before the recession I was becoming more 'picky' about spending money on video games. The biggest factor is most likely the fact that I don't want and/or don't have endless hours to spend playing video games. And let's face it, 60 plus dollars for a brand new video game is a lot of money to part with compared to the price of let's say, a new release blu-ray movie.




I am looking for the best bang for my buck when it comes to spending money on a video game and I'm sure that I am not the only one. A couple of years ago I started reading reviews for video games at ign.com before considering purchasing a game as background research. So, I would like to end with a survey if you prefer to buy a new video game or a used video game primarily.

  1. Hey,

    I buy new videogames mostly, but only if I see good reviews.
